Viera ears seem oddly disconnected from being ears, if that makes sense. They seem too high up, or too forward on the head, or something. Maybe because they end up out of shot in a close-up of the character's face? Or they're just generally too far away from where ears should be.

It's a disconnect I've never felt with Miqo'te – on the contrary I've thought in the past that despite being positioned differently to human ears they still seem a natural part of the character's body.

It's not something I expect to be changed, but I just wanted to say it.
Spotted the normie. Viera's are kemonomimi's for the uncultured that means "animal ear" Viera much like Miqo'te though Miqo'te are a bit divergent from the standard are bunny girls and cat girls. If you google a anime bunny girl, their rabbit ears are smack dab on top of their head excluding Mirko from My Hero Academia. FF14 is an anime inspired game made by Japanese. So of course the bunny girls are going to be bunny girls.

Really what they need to fix is Miqo'te ears and make them look like the loli Miqo'te ears where they're bigger and rounder
if you google a cat girl you'll see the ears look like the ears on the loli Miqo'te's you see in the game.
